Issues reading MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer

I'm attempting to read measurements from an MLX90614 infrared sensor using an Arduino Wifi Rev 2 board over the I2C connection. I have the sensor connected to the SDA and SCL pins on the board and I can see the sensor using the ScanI2C sketch but when I run the Adafruit mlxtest sketch using the Adafruit_MLX90614 library, invalid readings are returned.

15:22:04.626 -> Adafruit MLX90614 test
15:22:04.673 -> Ambient = 1037.55C Object = 1037.55C
15:22:04.720 -> Ambient = 1899.59F Object = 1899.59F

When I use the same sketch on the Uno R3 board, the sensor works as expected. I'd really like to get the new board to work due to the additional memory and wifi capabilities. Any suggestions?

Same exact issue. I also tried it with pull up resistors. Any help here?
Thanks.

Come on everybody. 5 months and no help here?
Seems every time this question is asked on many different forums, there is never an answer.
Someone knows!

This may be some hardware problem. Because in my working project, if I don't connect the module, I get the same reading. Hope this will help
